    looking more a type of effect.

    Sounds like you're looking for "Think of a Card." David Williamson has a version of this on his "Magic Farm" DVD. David Blaine used the force in his Drowned Alive special in the scene where he is in prison and he asks the guy to think of card and the queen he (the spectator) is holding ends up...

    Money magic recommendation

    It's hard to find a more magical effect with a borrowed bill than Fraud.

    FIGHT CLUB 10th Anniversary

    Yes... and you give no points of support for any of your ideas either.

    FIGHT CLUB 10th Anniversary

    I think that's a bit of a stretch, but with that aside, for the sake of discussion... What about it?

    FIGHT CLUB 10th Anniversary

    OK... I think this is a bit of a stretch. I haven't seen Fight Club in quite a while, and it's been longer since I read the book, but I don't remember it being anything about confronting reality. I think anyone who's read the book or watched the movie (closely) is pretty much in agreement...

    FIGHT CLUB 10th Anniversary

    OK... And what does any of that have to do with magic? As far as I can tell--nothing. Am I missing something?

    Creators pirate their own material - Koscher?

    Man... Corporate America seriously has a death grip on us all.

    Who is the most creative mind in magic?

    I think when looking at a topic like this you have to consider a few factors: the quality of the releases, the quantity of material released, the longevity of the creator's success, diversity of creations, etc. With that said... Paul Harris, by far. The guy has come up with so many...

    Favorite Effect from Art of Astonishment - ONLY ONE!

    Totally. Not only is the magic strong but the descriptions are extremely entertaining. And then you add in the bits of theory--makes for a great read all around.

    Favorite Effect from Art of Astonishment - ONLY ONE!

    LOVE this effect. It would be right behind Leaf for me. I've only had a few opportunities to perform CS, but whenever I have it's done exactly what you said: destroyed their sense of reality.

    The Invisible Bill Switch

    Jay Sankey - Hundred Dollar Miracles Jay does a really good job at teaching the (classic/Kozlowski) bill switch on there. Then he teaches a thousand applications and effects with it. Good DVD, good value.

    Favorite Effect from Art of Astonishment - ONLY ONE!

    I don't think that's the case. According to what he wrote he was printing out the entire books: Everything he says after that is just backpedaling. First he says he's never read the AoA books because they're too long. Then he says he's printing them out so he can read them. Then he says...

    What Do YOU Want For Christmas?

    I'm pretty happy with everything in my repertoire right now, so nothing magic on my Christmas list. I thought the new Daniel Project discs, 4-6, were supposed to be out by Christmas. I'd get those. Anyone heard anything on this lately? What's the latest scoop?

    Favorite Effect from Art of Astonishment - ONLY ONE!

    So if you own the books why do you need to print out the scanned pages you have of your own books on your computer? Sorry, man, your story just doesn't add up.

    Favorite Effect from Art of Astonishment - ONLY ONE!

    Let me try translating. Correct me if I'm wrong. "Hi, the reason I haven't read Art of Astonishment is because, like many other books, I have stolen it and therefore have no appreciation for the knowledge within the book. Perhaps if I print it out I will actually read it. I'll give it a...

    Any magicians in Africa?

    Africa is a continent, not a country. You may want to ask if there are any in your country to narrow it down. That might help you find someone. Good luck!

    Any magicians in Africa?

    On the entire continent? I'm sure there are.
